quantlab.factor.predefined.alpha101#

Alpha101 factor sets computed with the KunQuant backend.

“101 Formulaic Alphas” (Kakushadze, 2016) is a public list of 101 short trading-signal formulas built from open, high, low, close, volume and VWAP. KunQuant, the library this project uses for most factor computation, ships them as its Alpha101 library. KunQuant compiles a factor formula, written as a graph of operators, to native code and runs it over a whole (timestamp, symbol) panel at once.

Two FactorKunQuant subclasses expose the library. They differ in which input columns they read and in how the outputs are normalized: Alpha101SpotKline works on crypto spot klines (candlestick bars) and z-scores every output along time, while Alpha101Stock works on adjusted US-equity bars and z-scores every output across symbols.

Classes

Alpha101SpotKline

Alpha101 factors over crypto spot klines, z-scored along time.

Alpha101Stock

Alpha101 factors over adjusted US-equity bars, z-scored across symbols.
